> I don't mean to open a discussion into that topic here—I realize that there is no consensus on it, and that this position is not shared by various people, yourself included.   I just want to point out that you've expressed it as universally true that people think special-use names are bad, and that is not in fact the case: if it were, we wouldn't need to publish this document.

I didn't say they're bad, I said they're a problem which is not the same 
thing.

It really isn't helpful to rephrase other people's statements and get them 
wrong, particularly when everyone can just read the original.
